00:15:54 <canadaguest> hi hsn anything interesting for yourself?
00:41:08 <hsn> hi, what do u mean
00:42:02 <canadaguest> well I'm sure you're not just sitting on sofa all day or were you?
00:42:04 <steve30> that's my shelves tidied and cleaned
00:42:21 <hsn> no, i sleep on it ..
00:42:25 <hsn> :P
00:43:40 <hsn> im watching youtube to gain knowledge .. yesterday i found this video which i understood nothing from it but kept watching it
00:43:41 <canadaguest> hsn ha? :)
00:43:47 <canadaguest> hsn ah ok
00:43:49 <hsn> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7TwBUxxIC0 ->> Negative Ion Products Are Actually RADIOACTIVE
00:44:00 <canadaguest> steve30 for how long? :)
00:47:29 <hsn> hmmm, https://github.com/Awesome-HarmonyOS/HarmonyOS/tree/master/Huawei_LiteOS/include/fs
00:48:19 <steve30> these particular ones don't tend to get too dusty tbh
00:48:34 <canadaguest> ah ok sounds good still steve30
00:52:13 <Lord_of_nothing_> i need a big block of some radioactive stuff
00:52:20 <Lord_of_nothing_> some hight radiactive
00:52:31 <Lord_of_nothing_> can some one shipp me some kg?
00:53:48 <canadaguest> but anyhow I'm just looking through the wera catalog online and somewhat scratching head a bit at the transformer circuit here
00:54:00 <canadaguest> later might be going off for a while and re lunch altogether
00:55:14 <hsn> the music : https://youtu.be/gjuHxjdv3ZE?list=PL7A1B745BB1504D83&t=80 ?
00:56:25 * hsn shots alpha particle at Lord_of_nothing_
00:56:54 <hsn> did u recieve it or it pass through ?
00:57:11 <hsn> where is Ysjoelfir, long time i didnt see him ?!
01:02:15 <canadaguest> may be a silly shot or not but any of you here have wera tools?
01:02:59 <rust_collector> sure
01:03:25 <rust_collector> not many of them left here, but...
01:04:12 * canadaguest pokes rust_collector with an old rail spike then gives you a big hug nevertheless :)
01:04:30 <rust_collector> mostly screwdrivers. i think I have some pliers that are wera as well
01:04:34 <canadaguest> heheh. ty anyhow, I mean I noticed that wera got mentioned a lot on forum so I was suspecting someone in here too
01:05:06 <rust_collector> I got these in... around 1990, I guess
01:05:07 <canadaguest> and since wera also is at two distributors close to me I may as well as restock some of my missing for-project tools from them
01:05:14 <canadaguest> I kinda like the idea of one screwdriver with a lot of different bits
01:05:41 <rust_collector> well, you have to keep all the bits somewhere
01:06:27 <canadaguest> yeah well...I mean 30 bits and one driver could fit into a corner of the toolbox. unlike trying to cram 10 full drivers
01:06:43 <rust_collector> but if that works for you, and you can deal with the "fat" shank, i think you could do worse than wera. Not that I have any of their products from the last few decades
01:06:53 <canadaguest> its a bit like with that older dremel-specific toolbox they used to sell some time ago. the dremel itself went on bottom and all the bits went on top
01:07:18 <canadaguest> (father still has it, the motor is maybe getting a tad old)
01:08:22 <canadaguest> rust_collector but anyhow I used to have one of these slide-snap thing where you have six different generic heads in a carousel-like manner .. you slide one of them up to collar-snap into place .. think I likely just gave it away as it was sometimes refusing to lock in place and one of the slider was falling out of alignment too
01:08:42 <canadaguest> a bit of cheapo I think it was
01:09:19 <rust_collector> well...
01:11:19 <rust_collector> I think the worst thing about cheap screwdrivers. if they have that stinky chinese plastic smell.
01:14:33 <canadaguest> mm
01:18:05 <hsn> rusty
01:18:13 <hsn> how r u ? all good ?
01:18:37 <rust_collector> eeh, could be worse
01:19:02 <hsn> cool
01:19:06 <hsn> ^_^
01:19:16 <hsn> so ramadan is ending , fasting is ending
01:19:30 <rust_collector> for you, maybe...
01:19:33 <hsn> this year i didnt lose too much weight
01:19:37 <hsn> yeah
01:19:40 <hsn> for me i ment
01:19:53 <hsn> bcz i eat alot of sugar
01:19:56 <rust_collector> no, come on, just keep going
01:20:23 <canadaguest> anyway I'm going off for now, sorry rust_collector have fun with your nap later knowing you
01:20:25 <canadaguest> :)

01:20:58 <rust_collector> what? I just woke up
01:21:02 <rust_collector> oh well
01:21:03 <hsn> i dont always eat launch at work so its like breakfast 7am , dinner 7-8pm ..
01:21:14 <rust_collector> mmhmm
01:21:30 <hsn> anyway i ve to go tooo .. see u
01:21:39 <hsn> my eyes are burning
01:21:45 <rust_collector> have fun with that

02:14:42 <Lemon> rust_collector !!11!
02:17:30 <rust_collector> YESSS! ii22i
02:17:36 <rust_collector> wheee!
02:17:56 <Lemon> rusty I spent all the moni !
02:18:01 <rust_collector> good
02:18:11 <rust_collector> might as well get rid of them
02:18:39 <rust_collector> I am watching a video about using string
02:18:48 <rust_collector> for the xxth time
02:19:04 <Lemon> string ?
02:19:19 <rust_collector> thin rope?
02:19:28 <Lemon> ha right
02:20:16 <rust_collector> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cv6BdwMe560
02:21:25 <Lemon> is he showing how to properly choke someone ?

02:26:16 <rust_collector> mmmhmmm, either someone is rolling a shipping container down a hill, or we have some thunder happening here
02:27:38 <waatcher> and is there a hill?
02:27:56 <rust_collector> there is
02:28:20 <waatcher> Than bove are possible
02:28:25 <rust_collector> yep
02:29:19 <rust_collector> I really like thunder, but I would really like someone rolling a container too
02:30:17 <waatcher> I will also see someone rolling a shipping container rolling down hill.
02:30:39 <waatcher> or even up hill (only one man)
02:30:44 <Lemon> or a roller container shipping downhill
02:31:53 <rust_collector> if you put 30 empty drums in a box, that should sound horrible.
02:31:59 <rust_collector> aaah sweet noise
02:33:48 Quit: waatcher ([email protected]) Quit: http://www.kiwiirc.com/ - A hand crafted IRC client
02:34:52 <Lemon> hmm I cant find the key to dual wield guns in the doom mod
02:34:59 <rust_collector> I want to go somewhere like sanfrancisco and roll a loader tire down those hills there.
02:36:31 <rust_collector> eeh, maybe a complete loader
02:40:31 <Lemon> hmm I need to find boxes
02:40:41 <Lemon> for the decade box, and the 1K standard
02:40:52 <Lemon> those thumbwheel switches will be approx 175mm large
02:40:59 <Lemon> add banana plugs
02:41:18 <Lemon> so 185, lets add a good 3 cm so 215mm large
02:41:46 <Lemon> minimum 50mm wide and same for the height I'd say
02:45:08 * Ampera squeezes Lemon
02:45:19 <Lemon> :o
02:45:32 <Ampera> how do
02:45:55 <Lemon> doing ok and you ?
02:46:24 <Ampera> I just bought a new phone
02:46:43 <Lemon> hooo which one ? I bought tons of resistors !
02:46:49 <Ampera> Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra
02:50:33 <Lemon> damn phones are going nuts
02:50:53 <Ampera> lol
02:50:55 <Lemon> I stopped looking after the galaxy swhat, 6-7 ? I have no idea !
02:51:03 <Ampera> I got the 128GB/12GB version (storage/ram)
02:51:10 <Lemon> how many freaking cameras it got ? xd
02:51:11 <Ampera> they have a 512/16 version which was 400 bucks more
02:51:18 <Ampera> I think like 4-6
02:51:32 <Lemon> damn boi I'd be so afraid damaging it
02:51:41 <Ampera> I bought an Otterbox for it
02:51:45 <Lemon> my father had an iphone 10, which is no slouch, we arent using it at all
02:52:02 <Lemon> I simply dont have the use, and im too afraid to damage it even with a case
02:52:04 <Ampera> This phone outperforms the top end iPhone 11 Max in pretty much every regard and respect afaik
02:52:13 <Lemon> I dont feel good with a 1k device in my pocket :/
02:52:18 <Ampera> no problem
02:52:19 <Lemon> it better be !!
02:52:21 <Ampera> this is a 1.3k device
02:52:23 <Lemon> a s20 ultra !
02:52:28 <Lemon> man I had a s3 mini
02:52:36 <Ampera> My current phone is a Oneplus One
02:52:41 <Ampera> which I bought for 100 dollars
02:52:47 <Lemon> I'll grab the s20 when the s35 will be out :P
02:52:58 <Lemon> 100 bucks is the right amount for me I think
02:53:02 <Ampera> I am not a fan of incremental upgrades, I use devices for years and then spend lots of money to get the newest stuff
02:53:03 <Lemon> I have an iphone se right now
02:53:09 <Lemon> which I bought for approx that used
02:53:16 <Lemon> yeah I can understand that
02:53:22 <Ampera> For 100 dollars I do not believe I could have bought a better phone than this 1+1
02:53:37 <Ampera> but the point of spending money for me is to get a device powerful enough to last years
02:53:44 <Lemon> my father was in a group where everyone was putting some money so they could buy the latest flagship, and review it for a month or so each
02:53:48 <Lemon> then sell it, buy again etc
02:54:07 <Ampera> I also work on developing (or rather QA) on a mobile app
02:54:11 <Lemon> yeah you probably do tons more than I dow ith a phone
02:54:13 <Ampera> so it's always nice to have a good phone for that
02:54:18 <Ampera> perhaps
02:54:20 <Ampera> but who knows
02:54:25 <Lemon> im just phoning rarely, sending a sms a week, and occasionnaly surf xd
02:54:43 <Ampera> There are three main things I like about this phone, #1 is the camera, it's really nice
02:54:43 <Lemon> a SE is already overkill for that I think :>
02:54:55 <Ampera> one of the highest performing cameras on a smartphone
02:54:58 <Lemon> damn yes it looks really cool
02:55:09 <Ampera> #2 is the 5G modem, which, in a pinch, could be used to replace my home internet connection
02:55:18 <Ampera> or allow me to do stuff like work remotely where there is no internet
02:55:43 <Ampera> #3 is the screen, which could totally entertain me for ages if I'm out somewhere.

02:56:39 <Lemon> thats what you get when you buy the top of the line I think :> its a really nice toy dude !
02:56:50 <Lemon> those days I prefer to build my own toys :>
02:56:59 <Lemon> I bought a lifetime supplies of resistors !
02:57:12 <Lemon> along with thumbwheel switches from the USRR
02:57:20 <Lemon> to make a nice 11 decade resistor box
02:58:51 <rust_collector> just without the box
02:59:02 <Lemon> yeah I need to find a box
02:59:05 <Lemon> RIGHT RIGHT
02:59:23 <rust_collector> no, you need to buy an ancient laptop
02:59:37 <Lemon> that too yeah
03:00:59 <rust_collector> and the parts drawers
03:01:19 <Lemon> that too, yes
03:01:22 <Lemon> so many things
03:01:46 <waatcher> What type are you using?
03:02:01 <Lemon> of resistors ?
03:02:33 <waatcher> for exemple
03:03:31 <Lemon> I bought some branded 0.1% 15-25ppm off ebay, from 10 to 1M, 1% for the 0.01R, 1R and 100M and fucking 5% for 0.1R because I cant find good 1% ones
03:03:43 <Lemon> brands are yageo, vishay, weldyn etc
03:04:13 <waatcher> i mean the part storage
03:04:36 <Lemon> some lidl 30 drawers ones right now, two of them
03:05:43 <waatcher> I Have never seen esd safe drawers a Lidl.
03:05:50 <Ampera> In other news apparently the NYS daily death toll for COVID-19 is under 100
03:05:57 <Ampera> (now under)
03:06:02 <Lemon> they dont need to be esd safe
03:18:36 <Lemon> lets play some doom
03:19:34 <rust_collector> nah, I do not think so
03:23:24 * T3sl4 cocks a shotgun at rust_collector
03:24:20 * Ampera shotguns a cock at T3sl4
03:25:34 <T3sl4> you drank the whole thing?

03:57:45 <rust_collector> are you doing pushups?
03:57:55 <Lemon> no, I was playing doom
03:58:31 <rust_collector> ok, both you and it is bad
03:59:05 <Lemon> please help me find a nice box for the decade box
03:59:24 <Lemon> 230x50x50mm at least I think
04:02:32 <Lemon> abs black would be perfect
04:02:57 <Lemon> 215x50x40 would do
04:10:35 Quit: hsn993 ([email protected]) Ping timeout: 121 seconds
04:12:07 <rust_collector> these are a bit wide, but: https://www.esr.co.uk/electronics/enclosures-blackabs.htm
04:20:54 <Lemon> they would be fine but on ebay
04:20:57 <Lemon> because of shipping
04:21:24 <rust_collector> you can probably find that kind of box in most hardware stores
04:21:37 <Lemon> sadly theres no correct hardware store nearby
04:21:46 <Lemon> and I dont want to drive one hour + to find one
04:21:50 <rust_collector> electricians...
04:22:09 <rust_collector> well, just call them, and ask if they have a box
04:22:13 <Lemon> I live in a 200 habitants village, the first shop is at 25 km
04:23:15 <Lemon> ebay will be easier :>
04:23:16 <rust_collector> yes, but I am sure they have a phone or email that can get your message 25km away
04:23:21 <Lemon> also easier to keep track of what I buy
04:23:27 <rust_collector> hah
04:23:44 <Lemon> ha but first shop at 25km, if I want an hardware store thats 50km +
04:23:48 <Lemon> to the 'big towns'
04:24:02 <Lemon> at 25km we have basically a food market
04:24:17 Join: hsn993 ([email protected]) to #EEVblog
04:24:30 <rust_collector> can call guy in india, 50km is not a problem these days. they could talk to a guy on the moon more than 50 years ago
04:26:53 <rust_collector> you must be thinking about bluetooth or somehting, lol
04:28:36 <Lemon> well lets stick to ebay
04:28:39 <Lemon> less hassle :>
04:28:53 <Lemon> im sitll waiting on the guy with the 0.1% resistors to give me an invoice
04:28:57 <Lemon> shipping is broken
04:29:05 <Lemon> it asks 14 euros per pack of 10 resistors lol
04:29:21 <rust_collector> yes, but it is easy, right?
04:29:35 <Lemon> easy to call an indian guy to come and deliver me a box ?
04:29:48 <rust_collector> yes
04:29:52 <rust_collector> it is
04:29:58 <waatcher> i have search for you but it is a strange size.
04:29:59 <Lemon> I guess theres harder things yes
04:30:07 <waatcher> i must go bye
04:30:09 Quit: waatcher ([email protected]) Quit: http://www.kiwiirc.com/ - A hand crafted IRC client
04:30:21 <Lemon> thanks ? :>
04:30:39 <rust_collector> hmm, get a double size box, cut in half, and glue a new bottom in it?
04:31:12 <Lemon> id rather not
04:31:23 <Lemon> the harder part is to find a 220mm large one
04:31:41 <rust_collector> 200ish times 100-ish looks more standard than a 200 times 50
04:32:21 <rust_collector> or, buy a 3d printer, since you keep making stuff that need weird boxes
04:32:48 <Lemon> yeah im thinking about it but I dont have enough money, I already spent a lot
04:32:54 <Lemon> maybe next months
04:36:19 <rust_collector> you could end up with a small fleet of weird little boats
04:37:52 <Lemon> true, true
04:39:05 <rust_collector> I am pretty much against using 3d printed box shaped boxes.. but...
04:39:26 <Lemon> well I kinda agree they dont feel that good
04:39:53 <rust_collector> ok, i have no idea about that, but it just seems like a waste of time
04:41:40 <rust_collector> cutting 6 pieces of plastic sheet material, and making a box should not take many minutes. not having some robot running all night. I guess they are nice, if you want to make odd shaped brackets and stuff
04:42:28 <Lemon> well you can use the printer for many other things
04:42:32 <Lemon> which is a plus
04:42:52 <rust_collector> sure, if you need to do many other things.
04:44:11 <rust_collector> most of the time, when i see something 3d printed, it is either a box, or a part of a 3d printer...
04:44:28 <Lemon> yeah the problem is that people buy them without having the need
04:44:36 <Lemon> if I buy one, its because I know what I want to build

04:44:45 <Lemon> boxes, parts of things that broke, stuff like that
04:44:54 <Lemon> I dont care about pre-made things on thingiverse or whatever
04:45:01 <Lemon> boats, skulls that hold crayons, etc
04:45:06 <Lemon> hello jackbrown
04:45:07 <EEVBlog> Hello there, Lemon!
04:45:13 <rust_collector> but the boats are cool
04:45:57 <Lemon> https://www.ebay.fr/itm/Dale-NH-100-Aluminium-Housed-Power-Resistor-0-1-OHM-1-100WATT-TESTED-GOOD/254515426499?hash=item3b424d34c3:g:G7EAAOSwTh1eSpDb those are cool
04:46:28 <rust_collector> not for long
04:46:36 <Lemon> ba dum tssss
04:46:41 <rust_collector> aye
04:47:01 <Lemon> why is it so hard to find 0.1R 1% resistors on ebay
04:47:06 <Lemon> for a decent price at least
04:47:16 <Lemon> I found some 0.01R 1% for cheap
04:47:18 <Lemon> it shouldnt be hard
04:47:23 <rust_collector> probably because they are just not cheap?
04:48:19 <Lemon> I mean why specificaly this value
04:48:29 <Lemon> if 0.01R are decently priced and every other under 100M
04:48:59 <Lemon> I guess I could cut a piece of wire
04:49:01 <Lemon> and measure it
04:49:12 <Lemon> nah the tempco will be horrible
04:49:48 <rust_collector> will it?
04:50:05 <Lemon> probablt yes unless I find some evanohm wire or whatever is it called
04:50:11 <Lemon> and those are ultra expensive
04:54:22 <Lemon> https://www.ebay.fr/itm/50PC-Power-1W-Metal-Film-Resistor-1-Tolerance-0-1-Ohm-to-2-2M-Ohm-/222456652439
04:54:26 <Lemon> I think those are 1%
04:54:34 <Lemon> but the description isnt loading, can you check for me please ?
04:55:33 <rust_collector> 1%
04:55:41 <Lemon> is there a tempco value ?
04:55:47 <Lemon> or at least a model number
04:56:58 <rust_collector> nope, just a bunch of physical measurements
04:57:17 <Lemon> yeah ok, I guess those are nonames one
04:57:26 <Lemon> I think I'll just use those 5% vishay I bought
04:57:41 <Lemon> tempco is 100ppm but I think it willbe hard to find better ones
04:58:59 <Lemon> idk if I should put decimal decades
04:59:11 <Lemon> if I remove those two decades, finding a box will be easier
04:59:26 <Lemon> and that wont bother me to have high tempco low tolerance resistors in my nice box
05:00:02 <Lemon> also idk if I'll use those low values a lot
05:00:38 <Lemon> its already rare to use values under 100 ohms
05:01:35 <Lemon> if I take that choice, the box will be 180mm large, which is easier to find
05:01:38 <Lemon> yeah lets do that fuck it
05:02:03 <Lemon> 1ohm to 999M is already quite nice
05:06:34 <Lemon> 200x70x60
05:06:38 <Lemon> should be fine

05:07:31 <Lemon> thats approx 14cm
05:07:41 <Lemon> so lets say we leave 1cm to the left and right thats 16
05:07:57 <Lemon> add 1cm for the jacks, another cm to the right, 18
05:08:06 <Lemon> add 2 in case I fucked up, 200mm
05:09:18 <rust_collector> it is nice to have room to get a finger in there
05:09:50 <Lemon> yeah, bare minimum would be 190
05:09:52 <Lemon> but no less
05:14:06 <Lemon> 200x100/120 would be acceptable, even if big
05:14:15 <Lemon> it wouldnt look too weird, and leave me space for screening
05:14:32 <MrMobodies> Hello
05:14:39 <MrMobodies> I brought a printhead on Amazon for £22 for that printer, if I get the same error message then I know it may not be the print head.
05:14:39 <Lemon> you have to make concessions anyway on such a project
05:14:41 <Lemon> hi bud
05:14:47 <rust_collector> worst case, put an arduino in it, and some blinking leds
05:15:17 <MrMobodies> blinking leds with an arduino?
05:15:28 <rust_collector> isn't that what arduinos do?
05:15:39 <Lemon> I do have some nice leds I bought recently for 2 euros lol
05:15:41 <Lemon> some 10mm ones
05:15:46 <Lemon> idk why but they looked funny
05:15:53 <MrMobodies> I see
05:15:55 <rust_collector> that will fill your box up nicely
05:16:35 <MrMobodies> I had a tower full of network cards in someones house, they blinked a lot.
05:16:44 <MrMobodies> using it as a router
05:17:26 <MrMobodies> what is it that you're designing?
05:18:00 <rust_collector> a box of resistors
05:18:18 <MrMobodies> the one above looks huge
05:18:35 <MrMobodies> https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/G7EAAOSwTh1eSpDb/s-l1600.jpg
05:18:50 <Lemon> a 9 decade resistor box, from 1ohm to 999M
05:19:32 <MrMobodies> what can it be used for or is it for fun?
05:19:50 <Lemon> desigining stuff, when you need to test various resistor values for example
05:20:04 <Lemon> buying a premade one cost several hundreds
05:20:09 <Lemon> for some reasons
05:20:09 <MrMobodies> I see, to compare other circuits ans resistors
05:21:51 <Lemon> hmm I found one, 200x120x75
05:21:53 <Lemon> but its white
05:22:02 <Lemon> I guess I can paint it
05:22:25 <MrMobodies> you don't like the white?
05:22:41 <Lemon> well the thumbwheel switches I got are black
05:22:47 <Lemon> but yeah its alrightish
05:22:59 <MrMobodies> to make the circuit look tidy
05:23:22 <MrMobodies> you seem to have nice attention to detail.
05:23:36 <Lemon> yeah I like to build nice things when possible
05:23:41 <Lemon> the thermometer wasnt that great
05:23:58 <Lemon> now that I have a rotative tool and I can buy a box, I want it to look nice
05:24:11 <MrMobodies> nothing better than being interested in the work and perfection.

05:26:29 <MrMobodies> I see like a Dremel
05:26:45 <Lemon> yeah a cheap one but surprisingly good
05:26:47 <Lemon> for 25 euros
05:28:25 <Lemon> https://www.ebay.fr/itm/Thumbwheel-Switch-PP7-3-3L-%D0%9F%D0%9F7-3-3%D0%9B-3-Digits-Decimal-Code-0-9-Silver-Plated/223975416961?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649
05:28:33 <Lemon> I'll be using those, 9 exactly
05:28:59 <MrMobodies> two measure the resistance?
05:29:05 <MrMobodies> oopa too*
05:29:18 <Lemon> you dial the value, and bam you have your resistance
05:29:33 <Lemon> theres for example on the 1ohm decade, 10x1ohm inseries
05:29:47 <Lemon> so if you hit the 7 number, it put 7x1ohm in series to give 7 ohms
05:29:49 <Lemon> and so on
05:30:21 <Lemon> and I'll use 9 decades from 1ohm to 100Mohms, so thats 999 999 999 ohms max
05:30:40 <MrMobodies> making your own resistance generator
05:33:03 <MrMobodies> some pictures would be nice when you finish it
05:34:41 <Lemon> ho sure, the 4 channels voltmeter too
05:34:48 <Lemon> the variac too
05:35:05 <Lemon> and the 1k 0.005% resistor standard too but that one wont be too hard to make, lol
05:36:54 <MrMobodies> I am going out for my a bike ride
05:37:21 <MrMobodies> the roads are very flat around here and hardly any hills
05:47:49 <Lemon> have fun :>
05:53:44 <rust_collector> around here, the north/south roads are flat, and the east/west ones go a lot up and down
06:02:28 <andre> I've released the magic smoke.
06:02:44 <rust_collector> whoooooaaa
06:03:25 <andre> I guess... a bad power supply caused this.
06:04:25 <rust_collector> what was the smoke inside?
06:04:48 <andre> It resided in a MT2492 DCDC converter
06:05:17 <Lemon> rest in pieces !
06:05:53 <Lemon> rust_collector question, for thousands we say kilo, then mega, tera etc but for 1 to 100 ohms, what can I write ? simply ohms ? R ? units ?
06:06:07 <andre> Some Chinese chip. I've made some test boards for them months ago. (Too bad I've lost the kicad files due a hard disk crash)
06:07:00 <andre> However, I wanted to test it with my electronic load. As it also required a 12 volt input, I took another power supply from the bin... and when I plugged it in, smoke.
06:07:23 <rust_collector> oh well.
06:07:47 <andre> It was a bit too high without load (measuring 16 volt, but that should still be acceptable according to the datasheet).
06:08:21 <rust_collector> Lemon, yes, just use ohms, I guess you could use deciohms, and cenitohms but that is a bit weird?
06:08:43 <Lemon> yeah lets put ohms thanks
06:10:11 <rust_collector> hmm. well, I guess it happens... you are closer to a professional now
06:10:42 <rust_collector> you just have to figure out how to hide these things in the budget
06:11:57 <rust_collector> what was this supposed to power?

06:23:42 <Lemon> watcha think of the 200x120x75 one
06:23:49 <Lemon> I'll make a screening somehow
06:23:58 <Lemon> I drawed on a piece of paper what it should look
06:24:12 <Ampera> so I took a nap
06:24:23 <rust_collector> I think that is very boxy
06:24:27 <Ampera> wake up to a message where my dad asked me to move my car to the next bay over
06:25:26 <Ampera> 3 things, 1. my car's battery is disconnected, it'd take time to reconnect it 2. there's a truck right behind it, 3. I have zero clue how to drive my car, in what is a quite difficult maneuver
06:26:04 <Ampera> and he tells me none of this in advance
06:26:41 <rust_collector> well, I guess you can put the battery in, so he can move it quickly when he gets home?
06:27:27 <Ampera> he needs to tell me when there isn't a truck right behind my car, and in some form of advanced notice so I can get that shit together.
06:29:49 <rust_collector> usb washing machine, lol
07:15:26 <Lemon> im tired of seeing flys taking a shit on my screens
07:15:53 <Lemon> I know theres a lot of playground estate, but please contain yourselves, god damnit
07:17:37 <rust_collector> if they contain everything, they could explode
07:17:48 <Lemon> as long as its not on my screens
07:17:57 <rust_collector> well, it would be
07:18:51 <rust_collector> they would time it perfectly, fly as fast as possible, towards your screen, then blow up the ideal distance away from it, to cover the largest area possible
07:19:12 <Lemon> while yelling allahu akbar
07:19:36 <rust_collector> yes, but most people can not hear that
07:20:06 <Lemon> well that gives you an indication on when to take cover
07:20:21 <Lemon> rusty
07:20:32 <Lemon> you need to build something
07:20:37 <Lemon> something electronic
07:20:47 <Lemon> now that I finally biuld stuff
07:20:51 <rust_collector> i wonder if suicide bombers spend their last days eating a lot, and not taking a shit, just to be more....more
07:20:54 <Lemon> rather than buying all the test gear
07:21:06 <Lemon> lets stop there
07:23:00 <rust_collector> buying all the test gear... I have almost nothing complicated. making my own basic dmm does not seem like a good idea?
07:23:22 <Lemon> maybe a multi channel one like me ?
07:23:29 <rust_collector> noooooo
07:23:35 <Lemon> if you need to measure many things at once
07:23:46 <rust_collector> I will leave the weird stuff to you.
07:24:08 <Lemon> thats not that weird, when you need for example to measure multiple psu rails
07:24:16 <Lemon> or various points in a circuit
07:24:20 <rust_collector> yes, but I don't
07:24:55 <rust_collector> If I need that at some time... I can probably find a way
07:26:41 <Lemon> a simple decade box maybe
07:26:45 <Lemon> thats useful
07:26:50 <Lemon> an ac supply
07:27:06 <Lemon> a thermometer/barometer
07:28:35 <rust_collector> I am almost only interested in power supplies.
07:28:54 <Lemon> build a nice one then !
07:34:00 <rust_collector> I keep confusing myself with different ideas. i do have plenty of transformers I could use...
07:38:57 <rust_collector> I have thought about a mostly for fun mini suitcase, with a small power supply, some basic signal generator, and an amperemeter and voltmeter, just connected to banana jacks, so I can plug it to do what I want. I am not sure how useful it would be, but... it would look a bit interesting, if nothing else
07:46:37 <rust_collector> https://imgur.com/a/qEJmCJG
07:46:50 <rust_collector> sort of something like that, and a power thing
07:47:17 <rust_collector> well, it is not the most useful thing either
07:51:35 <Lemon> thats a fun idea
07:51:47 <Lemon> I wanted to make an all in one thingie once for fun too
07:51:53 <Lemon> thats appealing for some reasons
07:52:11 <rust_collector> it is like I should put a breadboard on there too, lol
07:58:14 <rust_collector> https://imgur.com/a/XihJJ3w
07:58:42 <rust_collector> so, Lemon... what do you think about this thing? I have 2 very similar ones
07:59:10 <rust_collector> tare not the same, but they do the same thing, using different parts, but they do look very similar
08:00:00 <Lemon> the circuit card ?
08:00:06 <rust_collector> mmhmm
08:00:10 <Lemon> its a power supply ?
08:00:19 <rust_collector> not as such
08:00:24 <rust_collector> but sort of
08:00:52 <rust_collector> it gets 230v in, and some kind of voltage out
08:01:14 <rust_collector> to run some nail polish drying lamps
08:02:06 <Lemon> hmmm depending on the output it could be useful
08:03:17 <rust_collector> I sort of doubt it is very useful, but it has some useful parts
08:04:51 <rust_collector> hmm, yes, I still have not found my shopping list... Maybe I have to start a new one
08:05:41 <Lemon> buy all the things !
08:05:50 <Lemon> the next tool I might got is a proper electrical desoldering gun
08:06:02 <rust_collector> yeah, that would be nice
08:07:29 <Lemon> but they are expensive
08:07:39 <Lemon> ho I also need a small box for the 1K resistor
08:07:46 <Lemon> the 0.005% one
08:10:39 <Lemon> ok time to sleep

10:59:06 <Ampera> though I bought the phone outright, it's unlocked and mine
11:00:32 <canadaguest> ah think have heard of that one
11:01:19 <Ampera> They're one of the nicer networks around imo, but they also have 5G, which is nice
11:05:54 <Halcyon> Ampera, I made those spicy noodles :P
11:06:27 <Halcyon> I will likely regret it later
11:06:57 <Ampera> Halcyon, I have no problem with spicy going ou t
11:07:09 <Ampera> because my digestive system was constructed using German engineering

12:07:13 <rust_collector> well, that depends on your technique, right, if you shove them far enough in, you can probably fit pretty many
12:10:19 <Ampera> rust_collector, depends on how long they are
12:12:17 <rust_collector> ohreally? well, the wife will be home some time later today. I am going to bed. happy nightmares people
12:16:22 <Ampera> I love my nightmares, rust_collector

19:03:21 <Lemon> hi bois
19:03:50 <steve30> hi Lemon
19:05:04 <Lemon> so I just paid 13.80 euros of shipping for 120 resistors, from germany to france
19:06:40 <Lemon> whatever, at least they were cheap
19:07:01 <Lemon> 2 euros per 10x 0.1% 25ppm/C resistors is alright#
19:12:55 <T3sl4> pretty sure i've paid less for chip resistors, but i don't remember if they were the same spec
19:13:47 <Lemon> smd are cheaper yeah, but I dont like to solder those tiny fuckers
19:14:24 <EEVBlog> New EEVBlog Retweet: World of Engineering: Filming on a budget 😂 https://t.co/f3obSoTKE1
19:14:54 <Lemon> total price of that decade box, with USRR silver plated thumbwheel switches, 9 decades from 1R to 100M, 1% (1R, 10M/100) and 0.1% for the rest, will cost me approx 120 euros total
19:15:34 <Lemon> boxes of the same specs online with two less decades usually sells for 5-600 euros+
19:16:56 <T3sl4> you'll spend the difference on labor, so it's an understandable price :P
19:17:01 <Lemon> thats not bad for a one-off, considering theres easily 30+ euros of shipping
19:17:16 <Lemon> heh it will take me maybe 2-3 hours, thats not much :P
19:18:03 <Lemon> and the box is a nice one, IP65 dustproof blabla
19:18:11 <Lemon> banana plugs are gold plated

21:41:23 <canadaguest> it used to be another typical alco rs3 but at some point in its life it got an emd engine which meant that the high hood was nicked off some unwanted locomotive and surprisingly it ran like this for 20+ years. it was still active in 2017...!

22:10:16 <canadaguest> but anyway although its not quite electronics I was wondering if any of you know any other names to try for if you wanted inches-sized filters? just 'filter' alone seem to often come back with furnace filters which is way too huge
22:23:10 <rust_collector> filters for what?
22:23:40 <Watcher> You can search for inflatable swimming pool filters
22:24:11 <Watcher> or for shop vac filters dose are also a coule iches in diameter
22:24:14 <rust_collector> you could crochet a small filter?
22:28:09 <Watcher> There are some carbon filters that you can cut to size
22:28:26 <rust_collector> yes, but to filter what?
22:28:36 <canadaguest> hmm vacuum I forgot about that one yeah that could work .. thanks a lot
22:29:04 <Watcher> or you can make one from a hepa vacuumcleaner bag
22:30:12 <rust_collector> the hepa vacuum cleaners do usually have a second air filter thing too, if they would work?
22:30:15 <canadaguest> oh and rust_collector I'm just somewhat looking in general now but I did kinda want to find a filter to use with the power supply fan. still not sure yet if the box should be fanless or with a fan, if latter I'll need filter to keep the dirts out
22:30:32 <rust_collector> oh, so a dust filter.
22:30:48 <canadaguest> and hi watcher interesting name
22:32:01 <Watcher> for pc you have filter that will filter large dust parcitles and you can clean them
22:32:26 <Watcher> and are the standard pc fan sizes
22:35:23 <rust_collector> https://www.amazon.com/Happy-GRM120-AL01-BK-12cm-Aluminium-Filter/dp/B00JMZ1MA6
22:35:41 <rust_collector> sort of like that. it should be ok for a power supply
22:36:02 <rust_collector> at least they keep cats and stuff out
22:36:11 <canadaguest> :)
22:36:28 <Ampera> morning y'all
22:37:09 <rust_collector> or, buy a regular panel air filter for one of those modern cars, and cut out the piece you need
22:37:12 <Watcher> rust_collector that style i mean with the pc fan filters
22:37:20 <rust_collector> moin Ampera
22:37:30 <Ampera> how are you doing, collector of rust
22:38:12 <rust_collector> Oh, I am still in pre-coffee mode. I do not know
22:38:36 <Ampera> I am in pre-coffee mode all day
22:38:41 <Ampera> I don't drink it
22:39:36 <rust_collector> no wonder you have weird thoughts
22:39:50 <canadaguest> you're the weird one rust_collector
22:39:51 <canadaguest> :P
22:40:32 <Ampera> rust_collector, coffee gives me bad nausea
22:40:43 <rust_collector> oh-K so I am on the anti coffee channel? I will just chat with mr steve then
22:40:56 <rust_collector> hmm, that is not ideal
22:41:10 <Ampera> that doesn't mean I don't appreciate coffee
22:41:38 <rust_collector> do you feel that, even after just one cup?
22:41:49 <Ampera> I for a decent amount of time catfished/parodied an account as a creepy guy named ralph who was existentially dedicated to having coffee with a fat bald italian guy named richard
22:41:58 <Ampera> I feel it after half a cup
22:42:09 <Ampera> if I drink it later in the day I feel like throwing up
22:42:36 <rust_collector> heh. ok. well, don't do that then. is tea ok?
22:42:46 <Ampera> I don't like tea
22:43:02 <Ampera> I might just not have had decent tea
22:43:07 <Ampera> but it's not something I'm a fan of
22:43:12 <rust_collector> I had a period where I could not drink tea. it gave me headaches.
22:43:24 <Ampera> I didn't know you got periods.
22:43:35 <rust_collector> well, you can make tea out of many different things.
22:43:43 * Ampera regrets this immediately
22:43:51 <rust_collector> there is a lot you do not know about me, lol
22:44:33 <Ampera> there is much you do not know about me either
22:44:39 <rust_collector> sure
22:44:40 <Ampera> like my affinity for dried, cured hams and meats.
22:45:03 <Ampera> or my sexual attraction to the colour taupe
22:45:19 <rust_collector> heh
22:46:51 <rust_collector> I may be too old, When I grew up, we had red blue green yellow and orange. to make it worse, we had light and dark versions of all of them.
22:47:01 <Ampera> what about hot pink
22:47:06 <Ampera> that's my favourite colour
22:47:16 <rust_collector> no, that dis not exist
22:47:27 <rust_collector> did
22:47:34 <Ampera> Are you sure about that?
22:47:50 <rust_collector> whaaa? did you just say ?
22:48:15 <Ampera> I don't know what I said, all I know is it was a pretty bold statement.
22:48:19 <rust_collector> I have a thing for teal
22:48:53 <rust_collector> and 002B36. that is my go to background color
22:49:25 <rust_collector> I like many kinds of blue
22:49:45 <Ampera> my go-to background colour at the moment is San Marino
22:50:05 <Ampera> https://prnt.sc/smtn1h
22:50:27 <rust_collector> oh yes. that is a nice one
22:51:21 <rust_collector> when I was young, that was just black and white, with shades of yellow and brown. they fixed it up a lot
22:51:43 <Ampera> NeXTSTEP or San Marino
22:52:07 <rust_collector> san marino.
22:52:14 <Ampera> huh
22:52:29 <Ampera> I actually did a history paper on San Marino
22:52:31 <Ampera> which was quite fun
22:52:51 <Ampera> The only thing I miss about college is I got to explore some interesting literary topics and get peer input on things that interested me
22:53:10 <Ampera> so I felt less like a raving spastic that just wants to annoy everyone
22:53:22 <rust_collector> I do not know much about that part of the world. which is a bit sad.
22:53:52 <Ampera> The thing about knowing stuff about different places is there will always be elements you are completely unaware of
22:53:58 <canadaguest> ok thats the filter system out of way for now...
22:54:10 * Ampera stuffs another coffee filter down canadaguest's gullet
22:54:27 * canadaguest still wonders about not grounding a c14 connector
22:54:41 <canadaguest> ampera you're funny. although hmm I wonder if coffee filters can work with fan
22:55:31 <rust_collector> I have always had a thing for maps. I can look at maps for hours. These days, it is even worse, because I can scroll in, and click to see some info about the place, and go from there
22:55:51 <rust_collector> no, coffee filters are too dense
22:55:57 <rust_collector> not much flow
22:56:21 <canadaguest> yeah thought as much just now too
22:56:57 <rust_collector> they are also not usable as cigarette paper, because they are in general not made out of paper
22:58:07 <rust_collector> how about some kind of insect screen, for windows and doors, double that up, and it would keep squirrels out of your box
22:59:26 <Watcher> or fabric
22:59:58 <rust_collector> what size is your box anyway?
23:00:07 <rust_collector> or, the side you want a filter
23:01:11 <rust_collector> https://www.amazon.com/IOYIJOI-20-86889-Panasonic-Uprights-MC-V199H/dp/B083NLSL29/ref=sr_1_12?dchild=1&keywords=vacuum+hepa+filters&qid=1590325233&sr=8-12
23:01:22 <canadaguest> hmm .. up to 230w through the C8 connector or just use C14 and leave the ground pin hanging ...
23:02:00 <rust_collector> uhm, what is the c8?
23:02:09 <canadaguest> rust_collector its about 12x9inch box .. with 8in clearance
23:02:23 <canadaguest> mainly transformers but a bit of other misc components too
23:02:37 <rust_collector> ok. so a good size wall, to put a filter
23:03:00 <rust_collector> and why not connect the ground?
23:03:26 <rust_collector> but yea, they are ok connectors, so... why not?
23:03:29 <canadaguest> rust_collector ehh heh ... C8 = you know, that butterfly-like little connector for a lot of house electronics .. or to quote iec 60320 :)
23:03:50 <canadaguest> rust_collector well I dunno where to put a ground .. as the circuit doesn't have any atm .. thats the thing I've been wondering about
23:04:06 <rust_collector> old shaver and radio thing?
23:04:25 <canadaguest> rust_collector new 200w laptop bricks still use C8 rather than C14 .. so mm yeah
23:05:06 <rust_collector> nah, use the desktop confuser connector. you find those cables everywhere
23:05:09 <canadaguest> shavers would likely be a bit different .. thats C2 which not surprisingly is rated to only 200mAmaximum
23:07:17 <canadaguest> anyway I guess thats that I'm gping screw in a C14 then
23:08:02 <rust_collector> they are pretty sturdy-ish
23:10:56 <EEVBlog> New EEVBlog Tweet: Remember those Compact Disc things... https://t.co/bPohBekewz
23:15:21 <canadaguest> oh I looked up the ordersheet and mm seem I can specify the C14 as either 3-prong or 2-prong
23:16:07 <Watcher> thats correct i have seen them with 2 and 3 prongs
23:19:24 <rust_collector> hmm, change the ram speed, and the graphics stop working... that is neat
23:19:58 <rust_collector> I do not know why he changed the ram speed, but...
23:20:07 Quit: Watcher ([email protected]) Quit: http://www.kiwiirc.com/ - A hand crafted IRC client
23:20:26 <rust_collector> it sounds like it is my problem now
23:24:02 <rust_collector> ok, later people. I going to look at the screen that says nothing at all...
23:27:21 <canadaguest> anyone mind telling me what they think of jst's perhaps vague wording if they want to? http://www.jst-mfg.com/product/detail_e.php?series=712 can't tell if the datasheet table mean its 5a total on all six circuits or just that its 5a per each pair of wires?
23:27:45 <canadaguest> (and yeah its 20awg)

23:53:27 <canadaguest> ampera about drinks, I'm just curious if you like milks?
23:55:15 <Ampera> canadaguest, I do like milk, but haven't drunk it in a while
23:55:25 <Ampera> I used to kill gallons like there was no tomorrow, as it was my primary hydrator, and well
23:55:30 <Ampera> milk isn't a very good hydrator
23:56:19 <canadaguest> mm a bit of milk daily here, aside to often in morning/snack recipes as well

23:59:19 <Ampera> I'll probably switch back to milk when I have my own fridge
